Microangelo Toolset

Microangelo Toolset is a software pack which includes four different applications for creating, editing and managing icons - Animator, Explorer, Librarian and Studio.

The interface of the programs is user-friendly. In Studio mode, you can start a new icon project from scratch, or use one of the available templates.

It is possible to select the icon format and to import images for prefilling. Moreover, you can create and design cursors.

You can use some basic drawing tools, such as rectangular selection, pencil, straight line, brush, flood, gradient, color eraser, rectangle, text, along with a color picker and locator.

You can adjust the color when it comes to the hue, saturation, colorization, grayscale, opacity, dither, dodge and burn, change the image format, as well as use the undo and redo functions. The same features and options apply for the Animator as well, except that you create frames for animations, instead of still pictures. The Explorer and Librarian allow you to seamlessly manage icon files.

All applications run on a low amount of CPU and system memory, have a good response time, and include user documentation. We have not encountered any issues throughout our testing; the Microangelo Toolset did not freeze, crash or pop up error dialogs. Unfortunately, no recent updates have been made, and you cannot configure any program settings, such as making it minimize to the system tray or automatically run at system startup.
